Description du poste

This truly unique and recently opened luxury boutique Hotel with 47 rooms and suites is now welcoming applications from experienced Hotel Receptionists looking to progress their career in a high quality destination property.

This is no ordinary Hotel and we are looking for no ordinary Receptionist.

You must enthusiastically embrace the philosophy of ‘Everything Matters’(TM). No detail too small or task too insignificant.
Live in accommodation available by arrangement (please note charges apply).

Full range of additional staff benefits available, commensurate with a luxury International Hotel Group (Campbell Gray Hotels).

A healthy obsession with outdoor pursuits and rural living would be beneficial given the remote location and island living, together with independent means of transport.

Islay: Close enough to stay connected yet far enough away to be independent.

For further details of this role together with the exciting future career growth opportunities associated with being part of an international luxury hotel company please contact me directly.

Please note that only candidates authorised to live and work in the UK can be considered. The Machrie Hotel & Golf Links is an Equal Opportunities Employer.
